You need...
white flour – 1 cup (plus about another 1/2 cup to knead with later)
salt – 2 tbsp
cream of tartar – 2 tbsp
cooking oil – 2 tbsp
warm water – 1 cup
Jello – 1 3oz pack
mix it all together in a sauce pan and over medium heat stir constantly until it is all mixed in and gets thick enough to form a ball. Dump it on wax paper and let it cool. When it is cool enough start kneading, using flour, until it is no longer sticky. We added glitter.

Jacey: I really like the lunch plan
Me: oh yeah, what is it?
Jacey: we are always the last ones to eat, so we get all the leftovers
Dax: (completely disgusted) from the garbage can?

Wow that is a way better recipe than the one I have!! I swear mine calls for 1 cup of salt!! I'll have to give it a try :)
Saw that on pinterst. Can't wait to try it.
Haha, leftovers from the garbage can.
Does the jello make it turn things colors? Our countertop is white and I wonder if the color would be a problem. Were your hands red at all afterward? (Don't you hate it when I ask questions in comments? I'm still doing it.) It looks great!
haha kristen, well I am going to answer your questions in a comment so hopefully you look back and see them :)
I was afraid that it would turn things colors so we kneaded it on wax paper just in case, but nope, our hands didn't color and neither did the counter/table we played with it on. I think the Cream of Tarter might have something to do with that since it is often used to clean stains...maybe. I was also a little scared to put glitter in it, but that doesn't come out on your hands either.
Thanks. =o)
Cannot wait to try this today! My two boys and my two nephews are going to love this!!
